FAXON SQUASH. 



If to be sent by mail, add 8c per pound extra. Pkts., ozs., and % mailed free. 

 The Faxon Squash is no longer a novelty, but a standard variety and fast becoming very popular, both as a 

 summer and winter Squash, It is the best squash for any and all purposes; the best early, the best late, the best 

 keeper and the best in quality. It ripens early and is very productive. The squashes vary somewhat in color, 

 but the shape is very uniform (see illustration) and cannot be mistaken for any other variety. The flesh is a deep 

 orange yellow, very small seed cavity and few seeds. It is the best squash ever cooked (see testimonials), and for 

 pies it must be tried to be appreciated. A fair trial will convince aU of its great value. As a winter squash it 

 has few superiors, being very fine grained, di-y and exceedingly pleasant flavored. It will keep in good condition 



the year round, whether gathered ripe 

 or green, a very desirable feature, as 

 many squashes must be thoroughly ripe 

 before frost or the crop is lost. Another 

 special feature is, that while uncooked it 

 appears to have a shell like any squash, 

 when cooked there is practically none, the 

 shell or inedible part being only about as 

 thick as a sheet of writing paper. We 

 are headquarters for this unrivalled vari- 

 ety, having purchased the entire original 

 stock seed. Pkt., 4c; oz., 8c; }£ lb., 20c;

I planted two hills of your Faxon 

 Squash in August last— same matured 

 and are as fine as sweet potatoes for the 

 table. Your seeds are O. K. — Mrs.

The Faxon Squash for the last two 

 years has proved itself to be all you 

 claimed for it. — W. H. Neal, Halifax, 

 Can., Oct. 31st, 1896. 



A famous squash specialist wrote us 

 after having grown the Faxon for five 

 years, that it is by far the finest in qual- 

 ity and the best in every way of any 

 4c; OZ., ISc, LB., 20c; lb., 45c. squash yet introduced. One of the most 

 reUable seedsmen, in this country to-day, says : "It is the best squash we have ever tasted-heing sweet and very 

 dry-and it is the only squash we ever saw of which every specimemvas of superior quality without regardto size 

 or whether ripe or green." One of the largest growers of vine seeds says : 'The Faxon is the most product- 

 ive of any variety of winter squash— it is the best keeper and the very best table variety." 



SWEET NUT SQUASH. 



Per pkt, Sc. One j^kt. each, Sweet Nut and Faxon, 6c. 

 The Sweet Nut when only half grown and cooked green is dry, fine flavored 

 and very delicious; cut in slices and fried like egg plant — can hardly be dis- 

 tinguished from that vegetable, also of great value as a winter squash— pulled 

 before frost, and laid away in a dry room, they will keep sound and sweet imtil 

 late in the spring; equal to pumpkins for pies and custards, and the sweet potato 

 for dryness, richness and flavor. The Sweet Nut is also very productive— ^eYen- 

 teen fine squash have been gathered from one vine. Pkt., 3c; oz., 7c; }i lb., 20c.
